President Obama vowed Saturday to hold the right people accountable if it's found that there was breakdown in communications within the intelligence community ahead of last month's attack in Benghazi.

"What my attitude on this is is if we find out there was a big breakdown and somebody didn’t do their job, they’ll be held accountable," he said in an interview with "Morning Joe" hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski conducted in Nashua, N.H., according to a report on MSNBC.com.

"Ultimately as commander-in-chief I am responsible and I don’t shy away from that responsibility," he added.

The taped interview is set to air Monday on "Morning Joe." Scarborough is a guest columnist for POLITICO.
